Warm-up matches, say players and coaches, are for getting miles in legs, adapting to local climes, choosing a team and forming a plan for that XI. If this is the criteria, then Englands three days - it was supposed to be four, but for a soggy outfield - at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong can be filed under successes.The most important selection headache was solved as Alastair Cook hopped off a plane at Chittagong Airport on Monday afternoon, back in time for his 134th Test match, which will make him Englands most-capped player, overtaking Alec Stewart. The plan for Cook, to head home for the birth of his second child, could hardly have gone better. On Tuesday, as the rest of the squad enjoy a day on the golf course or by the pool, Cook will head to the nets; he felt in fine fettle on his week-long jaunt to Bangladesh during the ODI series, and two days training should be adequate for a man of his experience.What of the other ten players, then? Haseeb Hameed and Ben Duckett, the candidates to open with Cook, had fine weekends, each living up to their billing. After scoring his third and fourth half-centuries and not being dismissed across 164 deliveries, Duckett will surely debut, but Hameeds efforts mean it will likely be from No.4.The sight of Gary Ballance wandering out after tea, only when Hameeds 125-ball 57 had been retired, seemed to confirm there was a vacancy in the middle order. Ballance was another to go unbeaten over the two innings - with 27 then 36 - but he lacked comfort or fluency. Jos Buttlers chances seem to be over for now (he made 4, including a dropped catch, before slicing to point), although it would be a great surprise if he does not play at some stage during the seven Tests before Christmas; Trevor Bayliss, Englands coach, remains desperate to get him in.Perhaps the most heartening aspect of Ducketts performances was that he displayed various gears. Sure, Saturdays innings was a mighty impressive display of dash and timing, but on Monday, he dug in; his first 25 runs took 70 balls before he scored 27 off his next 21. The unorthodoxy displayed during the ODI series - when he was not at his most fluent, but battled hard - was back, with reverse sweeps and peculiar scoring areas. By lunch on Monday, Bayliss had seen enough, even if the birthday boy (22 today) wanted to bat on.Hameed conformed to type. His forward defensive is an oft-seen, elegant lunge, with the ball seldom failing to connect with his bats middle. He leaves as much as he can, off seam and spin, but does have boundary options, seen most notably when he sent three consecutive deliveries from Ebadat Hossain for four with a straight drive, a late cut, then a pull. For all the Boycott talk, Bangladeshs bowling coach Courtney Walsh thinks he resembles Mike Atherton, but his team-mates are reminded of Joe Root in India in 2012 - boyish, skinny (and running plenty of twos as a result) but ready. A debut surely awaits.Root will bat at No 3, with the moveable feast of allrounders Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow between No.5 and No.7; it is unclear in which order they will appear, but all three have plenty of responsibility in the field, so it may be fluid. Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid, who was kept under wraps here, will follow, with Gareth Batty likely to beat Zafar Ansari to the third spinners position, and Stuart Broad batting at No.11. All eleven players will have first-class hundreds.England learnt just as much in the field, and improved markedly as the bowlers located their rhythm and acclimatised to the searing heat on a flat pitch. There were two dropped catches in 44 overs on Saturday, but none in 75 on Sunday, while Root will have plenty to feed back to Cook about field placings. Both Bairstow and Buttler have had a go behind the stumps, and three short legs have been trialled too, but Hameed seems the favoured option.Certainly, all-out attack with the new ball - which did not swing much for Woakes - seems unlikely, and Root soon had close catchers in front of the bat instead of a packed cordon. The lack of swing, coupled with the morning session hosting the most brutal heat of the day, may see a defensive approach early on. While reverse was not found here - perhaps because the outfield was more vegetable patch than lawn and the pitch was flat and unabrasive - England expect to find it at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.Finn all but confirmed the plan to use three seamers (of which he does not think he will be one) and three spinners - pending a pitch inspection on Wednesday, of course. But the last lesson England learned here came from Bangladesh themselves: by including in their 14-man squad four specialist spinners and just two seamers - who may not even both play - the tourists know precisely the challenge ahead.

The racing industry has long called for government intervention against the current system, from which offshore online betting is exempt and costs the sport tens of millions of pounds.Chancellor George Osborne proposed a Racing Right to replace the Levy in last Marchs Budget. And in a seismic overhaul that would give the sport a significant cash boost, Whittingdale has outlined the Governments aim of pooling together income from betting on racing both in shops and online.He said: Our aim is to introduce a new funding arrangement for British racing by April 2017.We will create a level playing field for British-based and offshore gambling operators, and ensure a fair return from all bookmakers to racing, including those based offshore.Racing will be responsible for making decisions on spending the new fund and well be making further announcements shortly.British Horseracing Authority chief executive Nick Rust has been working hard to fill the void in the interim after having imposed an Authorised Betting Partner (ABP) policy, which requires bookmakers to pay racing an agreed chunk of the profits they make from racing bets online.Betfair, bet365, 32Red and BetVictor have so far signed up to the new system, with the four bookmakers having agreed to make voluntary contributions from their remote activity.Other established bookmakers like Ladbrokes, Betfred, Coral, William Hill and Paddy Power have yet to agree to ABP status. Sky Racing Tickets Fast, secure racing tickets: Exclusive racing offers near you While the BHA has welcomed the news, it still intends to build on the ABP scheme with the aim being to smooth the transition to the new funding model and to maintain the current level of Levy funding.Rust said: Todays announcement is one that should prove truly historic. The new funding model will ensure a fair transfer of funding to British racing based on all betting activity on the sport - a link that was first established in law in 1961.It meets all of racings requirements for a new funding model and can bear fruit in 2017, which is crucial given the significant Levy cliff we face.In the longer term, this means greater financial security for the sport, a platform for growth, a huge boost to our participants and more certainty for the tens of thousands of people who rely on racing for their livelihoods.We look forward to working with governmennt on the details of these proposals and to make sure the implementation timetable they have announced today is achieved.dddddddddddd.We now have a great opportunity to bring together racing and betting in tackling the sports funding issues for the benefit of all parties, and this is something that we are actively pursuing.We want to focus the joint efforts of racing and betting on innovation and growth in the sport as a betting product.Philip Freedman, executive chairman of the Horsemens Group, which represents the interests of racehorse owners, trainers, jockeys, stable staff and breeders, was also pleased by the announcement.He said: Horsemen will be delighted by the announcement that racing will get rights to funding from offshore bookmakers by April 2017.Restoring racings income from betting to the levels intended by previous government determinations, before so much betting had migrated offshore and outside the scope of the Levy, is an essential step in growing the industry to the benefit of both horsemen and betting operators.Stephen Atkin, chief executive of the Racecourse Association, added: The Racecourse Association warmly welcomes governments announcement as a critical moment for the sport and an important development for all of our members.Once implemented, this will provide much needed stability and an incentive to both racecourses and horsemen to invest in the sport for the long-term.We look forward to working with our colleagues in racing and betting as well as the government to help implement this decision.The Association of British Bookmakers is keen to work in unison with the government and the BHA, but said the proposed new system must be fair to betting shops.A statement read: We welcome the governments progress on introducing a new system for the betting industry to fund horse racing.We will be working closely with the government and horse racing on the critical and so far undecided detail of the new system to ensure that any new Levy is both fair to horse racing and the betting industry.The amount that racing receives from betting, particularly in media payments has grown by tens of millions in recent years.On top of this, betting shops already bear an unfair burden and the current rate of 10.75 per cent is unsustainable for the retail sector.Any new deal on Levy has to be fair to betting shops and should be based on an accurate assessment of the level of subsidy required to support horse racing.
